If You Were Me And All You Could Think Of
Was To Die In Your Arms Tonight
How Would You Tell Me And How Would You Hurt Me
When Hearts Are Not Chained At First Sight
Here I Go Not Even Surprised
When Love Is Gone Like Something You Stole
It Takes A Little Time Of Getting Used To
But Love Can Destroy Everything

I Vaguely Remember Something You Told Me
When I Took A Shot At Your Heart
You Said You Could Never Die For Someone
Who Tore All Your Dreams Apart
Here I Go Not Even Surprised
When Love Is Gone Like Something You Stole
It Takes A Little Time Of Getting Used To
But Love Can Destroy Everything

It Takes A Little Time Of Getting Used To
But Love Can Destroy Everything
Yeah Love Can Destroy Everything

Turn down the lights;
Turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.

Lay down with me;
Tell me no lies.
Just hold me close;
Don't patronize.

Don't patronize me.

[Chorus:]
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't.
Here in the dark
In these final hours,
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power;
But you won't.
No, you won't.
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.

I'll close my eyes,
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me.

Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.

And I will give up this fight.

All you got is this moment
Ttwenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah that's okay

So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind

I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you girl
That makes me sweat

How do you feel
I'm lonely
What do you think
Can't take it all
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna live my life

Blink 182 I Miss You
(I miss you, I miss you)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)

(I miss you, I miss you)

One Last Chance ~ James Morrison



In my life I don't mean much to anyone
I've lost my way can't go back anymore
Once I had everything now it's gone
Don't tell me again coz I've heard it all before

Some people say that i'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try

I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never and I'll try to remember who i used to be
I've got one last chance to get myself together

The time has come for me to change again
I can't carry on like this, I will lose my friends - don't say that you have given up on me. Just give me the time and space to heal my head

I don't wanna be misunderstood
I've got to take this chance and make it into something good

It is amazing what certain lyrics can do- how they can help us describe our feelings, wants, needs and describe our lives at that moment..

so you're going drinking tonight
it's party time

so you're gonna paint the town red
it's party time
gonna turn bad to maybe

blackout in the red room

Just came back from the Tom Petty show...

And Rich sings this to me when I'm upset, because of yesterday Rich was singing this to me alone and with Mr. Petty


We got some thing we both know it,
We dont talk too much about it
Aint no real big secret, all the same,
Somehow we get around it

Listen, it dont really matter to me
Baby, you believe what you wanna believe
You see, you dont have to live like a refugee

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon

Honey, it dont make no difference to me
Baby, everybodys had to fight to be fre e
You see, you dont have to live like a refugee
No baby, you dont have to live like a refugee

Baby, we aint the first
Im sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this aint real to you
Its one of those things you got to feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped,
Tied-up, taken away, and held for ransom

Honey, it dont really matter to me
Baby, everybodys ha d to fight to be free
You see, you dont have to live like a refugee
No, you dont have to live like a refugee
Baby, you dont have to live like a refugee

Roy Orbison - In Dreams

A candy colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep, everything is alright."

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly say a silent prayer
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep and dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
With you ever in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it
If I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, beautiful dreams

Step back and watch the sweet thing
Breaking everything she sees
She can take my darkest feeling
Tear it up till I’m on me knees
Plug into her electric cool
Where things bend and break
And shake to the rule
Talking fast couldn’t tell me something
I would shed my skin for you
Talking fast on the edge of nothing
I would break my back for you
Don’t know why, don’t know why
Things vaporise and rise to the sky
And we tried so hard
And we looked so good
And we lived our lives in black
But something about you felt like pain
You were my sunny day rain
You were the clouds in the sky
You were the darkest sky
But your lips spoke gold and honey
That’s why I’m happy when it rains
I’m happy when it pours
Looking at me enjoying something
That feels like feels like pain
To my brain
And if I tell you something
You take me back to nothing
I’m on the edge of something
You take me back
And I’m happy when it rains

Ani DiFranco- Spade


I will not lie down
On the wrongful ground or play
While it's still a radical sound
Just to call a spade a spade
Dear friends, women and men
Please check my math once more
In the totality of all war's history
There's but one common denominator
The answer is in the intention
That lies behind the question
Put that on your standardized multiple choice
I mean, how's this supposed to look to me
But half of divinity
Out there trying to make harmony
With only one voice

You know I've got experience
Looking right past the obvious
So I know what is so big and so close
Is always the hardest stuff
For us to reckon with
The hardest stuff to know

Dear friends, especially the women,
Tell me are you up to the task?
Of turning the wheel on human history
At long last

The answer is in the intention
That lies behind the question
Put that on your standardized multiple choice
I mean, how's this supposed to look to me
But half of divinity
Out there trying to make harmony
With only one voice

I will not lie down
On the wrongful ground or play
While it's still a radical sound
Just call a spade a spade

Dear friends, women and men
What better time to face
That we've been looking for
The answer to war
In the wrong place

Love her... told you we have similar musical taste..
Here's my favourite- long song but it is very good from beginning to end:

Self Evident


(inspired by the WTC disaster)
yes,
us people are just poems
we're 90% metaphor
with a leanness of meaning
approaching hyper-distillation
and once upon a time
we were moonshine
rushing down the throat of a giraffe
yes, rushing down the long hallway
despite what the p.a. announcement says
yes, rushing down the long hall
down the long stairs
in a building so tall
that it will always be there
yes, it's part of a pair
there on the bow of noah's ark
the most prestigious couple
just kickin back parked
against a perfectly blue sky
on a morning beatific
in its indian summer breeze
on the day that america
fell to its knees
after strutting around for a century
without saying thank you
or please

and the shock was subsonic
and the smoke was deafening
between the setup and the punch line
cuz we were all on time for work that day
we all boarded that plane for to fly
and then while the fires were raging
we all climbed up on the window sill
and then we all held hands
and jumped into the sky

and every borough looked up when it heard the first blast
and then every dumb action movie was summarily surpassed
and the exodus uptown by foot and motorcar
looked more like war than anything i've seen so far
so far
so far
so fierce and ingenious
a poetic specter so far gone
that every jackass newscaster was struck dumb and stumbling
over 'oh my god' and 'this is unbelievable' and on and on
and i'll tell you what, while we're at it
you can keep the pentagon
keep the propaganda
keep each and every tv
that's been trying to convince me
to participate
in some prep school punk's plan to perpetuate retribution
perpetuate retribution
even as the blue toxic smoke of our lesson in retribution
is still hanging in the air
and there's ash on our shoes
and there's ash in our hair
and there's a fine silt on every mantle
from hell's kitchen to brooklyn
and the streets are full of stories
sudden twists and near misses
and soon every open bar is crammed to the rafters
with tales of narrowly averted disasters
and the whiskey is flowin
like never before
as all over the country
folks just shake their heads
and pour

so here's a toast to all the folks that live in palestine, afghanistan,
iraq, el salvador

here's a toast to the folks living on the pine ridge reservation
under the stone cold gaze of mt. rushmore

here's a toast to all those nurses and doctors
who daily provide women with a choice
who stand down a threat the size of oklahoma city
just to listen to a young woman's voice

here's a toast to all the folks on death row right now
awaiting the executioner's guillotine
who are shackled there with dread and can only escape into their heads
to find peace in the form of a dream, peace in the form of a dream

cuz take away our playstations
and we are a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don't take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever

and we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me
cuz i am a poem heeding hyper-distillation
i've got no room for a lie so verbose
i'm looking out over my whole human family
and i'm raising my glass in a toast

here's to our last drink of fossil fuels
may we vow to get off of this sauce
shoo away the swarms of commuter planes
and find that train ticket we lost
cuz once upon a time the line followed the river
and peeked into all the backyards
and the laundry was waving
the graffiti was teasing us
from brick walls and bridges
we were rolling over ridges
through valleys
under stars
i dream of touring like duke ellington
in my own railroad car
i dream of waiting on the tall blonde wooden benches
in a grand station aglow with grace
and then standing out on the platform
and feeling the air on my face

give back the night its distant whistle
give the darkness back its soul
give the big oil companies the finger finally
and relearn how to rock-n-roll
yes, the lessons are all around us and the truth is waiting there
so it's time to pick through the rubble, clean the streets
and clear the air
get our government to pull its big dick out of the sand
of someone else's desert
put it back in its pants
and quit the hypocritical chants of
freedom forever

cuz when one lone phone rang
in two thousand and one
at ten after nine
on nine one one
which is the number we all called
when that lone phone rang right off the wall
right off our desk and down the long hall
down the long stairs
in a building so tall
that the whole world turned
just to watch it fall

and while we're at it
remember the first time around?
the bomb?
the ryder truck?
the parking garage?
the princess that didn't even feel the pea?
remember joking around in our apartment on avenue D?

can you imagine how many paper coffee cups would have to change their design
following a fantastical reversal of the new york skyline?!

it was a joke
at the time
and that was just a few years ago
so let the record show
that the FBI was all over that case
that the plot was obvious and in everybody's face
and scoping that scene
religiously
the CIA
or is it KGB?
committing countless crimes against humanity
with this kind of eventuality
as its excuse
for abuse after expensive abuse
and it didn't have a clue
look, another window to see through
way up here
on the 104th floor
look
another key
another door
10% literal
90% metaphor
3000 some poems disguised as people
on an almost too perfect day
must be more than pawns
in some asshole's passion play
so now it's your job
and it's my job
to make it that way
to make sure they didn't die in vain
sshhhhh....
baby listen
hear the train?

He's the kind of guy that would say
Hey, baby let's get away
Let's go some place, huh
Well I don't care
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
You trust your heart, share all of your love
Till death do you part

I want to be what he wants
When he wants it and whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm lovin' him a little bit more each day
Turns me right on when I hear him say

(Hey, baby, let's get away)
(Let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we)
Well, I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away)
(Let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we)
Well, I don't care

I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' loved starved
I'll be there to feed it
Lovin' him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say

(Hey, baby, let's get away)
(Let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we)
Well, I don't care

(Hey baby let's get away)
(Let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we)
Well, I don't care

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Look at my love floating away)
(Daydreaming) of you
(Daydreaming)
Thinking of you

Cher - Just like Jesse James


You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun.
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude.
Honey you're lookin' for some trouble TONIGHT
Well alright.

You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild.
Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile.
Honey but you met your match tonight.
Oh that's right!

You think you'll knock me off my feet till I'm flat on the floor.
Till my heart is crying Indian and I'm beggin' for more.
So come on baby, come on baby.
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for.


CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break
It's gonna take a lot to break it.
I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight.
So if you're so tough come on and prove it.
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it.
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James.


You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide.
Well you ain't so strong.
Won't be long till your hands are tied.
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive.
Thaaat's right.
You break the laws of love in the name of desire.
Take ten steps back, Cause I'm ready baby aim and fire.
Baby there's no way you gonna run tonight.

Ooooh, that's right.
Well you've had your way with love.
But it's the end of the day.
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away.
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say.


CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it.
Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it.
I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight.
So if you're so tough come on and prove it.
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it.
tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James.


If you'll knock me off my feet till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is crying Indian and I'm begging for more.
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby, Come on


CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break
It's gonna take a lot to break it.
I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight.
So if you're so tough come on and prove it.
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it.
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James.
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James.
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames just like Jesse James.

I'm gonna shoot ya down Jesse James.

I'll be your distraction

there's a field near by,with words written in stone.
My love will not die,please let it be known.
This place is dead,it echoes through town.
There isn't one voice,I haven't heard a sound.

The planes flew in,their bombs did too.
The city fell flat,the fires they grew.
When the smoke comes in ,it'll color this town.
But I'll still have you,so I'll say it aloud.

I'll be your distraction

The friendships we made ,is a waste of our time.
There's no one left here ,to show a future that's kind.
It's a world of hate ,gone incredibly wrong.
We cared too late ,we just followed along.

And the boys went down, with gun in their hand.
Their weapon of choice,their knees in the sand.
If that field nearby,was still there to be used.


Would you ever have known,
those words are for you.



I'll be your distraction
I'll be,I'll be yours.

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails

I hurt myself today
To see if i still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But i remember everything
What have i become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone i know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of s**t
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have i become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone i know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If i could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Breathe Me - Sia

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
